An environmental history of the gold rush. It describes how the miners got to the Klondike, the mining technologies they employed, and the networks by which they obtained food, clothing, and tools. It looks at the political and economic debates surrounding the valuation of gold and the industrial economy that exploited its extraction in Alaska.
